The predictive power of quantum mechanics (QM) plays a role of paramount importance in the understanding of matter and its fundamental laws [8]. Despite this great success, the standard formulation of QM, usually known as the Copenhagen interpretation [10], has always suffered from interpretational difficulties [7]. For this reason, David Bohm introduced in the 1950s an alternative version [3], which has experienced a revitalization in the past few years, supported by a new computationally oriented point of view. The so-called Bohmian mechanics (BM) constitutes a true theory of quantum dynamics [6,18], and many interesting practical applications, including the analysis of the tunneling mechanism [9], scattering processes [12,14], or the classicalquantum correspondence [13], just to name a few, have been revisited using this novel point of view.
